Thank you!

And thank you WadDelz for making such a unique and atmospheric mod. I enjoyed listening to some of the tracks you composed as I did a test recording before we recorded this. It's as relaxing as it is ominous, if that makes any sense haha.

That means a lot to us, especially from someone like you that has a Half Life-centered channel. Knowing that we made Half Life content that even you as a big fan can enjoy is very reassuring. Keep up the good work on your end as well!

Wow, we appreciate the extensive review. Yeah the internet so often works in extremes and absolutes that Zach and I can tend to favor personal interest when buying a game over clickbait telling us it's the best or worst thing ever. Dustborn definitely looked cool from the trailer, but with the $30 price tag I've been on the fence about checking it out. Thank you for giving a more nuanced take than what I've tended to see online. Like you implied, When it comes to narratives set in torn apart worlds, characters are naturally stand off-ish, self motivated, and numb for the sake of survival. They aren't always going to be typical likable game protagonists to hit the paragon option on indefinitely. I'll have to see if I feel similar to you when I eventually try the game for myself. Thanks again! - Brandon the B in ABZ

@@abz2888 Playing through a videogame, especially narrative-focused ones does take some time, and people oftentimes have other obligations. That's one of the reasons why I don't play "Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore" currently. People can usually play only one game at a time. I'll probably get it when it goes on discount. The market's kinda flooded.

I don't blame your younger self. It can be confusing figuring out where to go sometimes, and the game doesn't always spell out what path to take or where to backtrack to. In some ways that's the challenge and charm of it, but for me it meant a chunk of my playtime was listless wandering. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

Well we apologize for any unintended bad memories we brought back. But you have a point, the fishing warehouse level later on with its slippery boxes you have to jump across over a pit filled with enemies was way too much. Thankfully it's not the majority of the game. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

@@abz2888 Yeah, for me it was also scoobies movements. Nevertheless I really liked your video... Do you by chance take recommendations? I have some titles which I recommend glowingly.

@@Angel-Dust-The-Prostitute Thank you! And absolutely. While we tend to pick games we know or are currently playing, we do like to take suggestions from watchers as well. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

@@abz2888 Valkyria Chronicles - An turn based real time strategy 3rd person shooter hybrid with an fire emblem twist. It is made by the same developers who brought us Skies Of Arcadia, and Vyse (The Protagonist of Skies Of Arcadia) makes an Cameo as a controllable unit.

P.S. sorry if I replied too much. You guys are awesome and I wish you the best.

Wow! I can't imagine what that was like, my first was probably the original Super Mario Bros on NES, so by the time 3D games became a thing, it was like this wow moment of not being able to comprehend moving in a 3D space. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it! I don't promise perfect gameplay, far from it, but we do strive to play the game as well as we can. Most of me getting lost was just me not paying attention because I was focused more on commentary than on gameplay, and I won't blame the game for that.

Glad we could be of service! A number of our episodes do tend to be chosen by our own nostalgia. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

I bet just seeing Scooby-Doo move when you pressed buttons on the controller was good enough. The GameCube was my first 3D console, and it had a lot of strong versions of many games despite the small disc size. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

I did the exact same thing!! Played it recently and honestly I still love this game

Start of the game is amazing. The hub and tutorial alone makes it one of the best Scooby-Doo video games ❤

I had a lot of games like that as a kid. Especially when you didn't have a memory card and are forced to replay the beginning again and again. To me FF7 was just the reactor and that was it lol. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

@@matthewbeck7829 I'm glad to hear you also think it holds up. Despite the sometimes confusing map I'd say I had a good and relaxing time with it. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

@@xXLunatikxXlul What's funny is that I walked right past the tutorial in the video, partly because I forgot it was there. Since it's located behind where you start, I didn't originally discover it even existed until very late in the game lol. I can't speak to what the best Scooby game is, I think I still need to play more. I definitely recommend Creepy Capers on the Game Boy Color though. Amazing art and animation for a GBC game, as well as a solid story. - Brandon: The B in ABZ

I can see it, especially the pattern of the grill-like lines on the front. It's pretty uncanny lol. Thanks for the comment.

By big box do you mean N64 or PC? Either way that's very cool to still have the original box. I'm glad I'm not the only one that appreciates what this game pulled off, despite clearly feeling like this was LucasArts first time making this type of game. The villain especially sticks out in my mind, with how they twist him towards the end in a way that makes him unique from other Indy antagonists. Thanks for the comment and info! -Brandon, the B in ABZ

@thenintendoistx Wow! Thank you, that really means a lot to us. I also like to play games alongside watching someone I like play them, so the idea of someone doing that for me is crazy to hear lol. I'm relieved to hear it helped with the frustration, despite how terrible all my gameplay was lol.

Haha that moment gets a laugh out of me too when I go back to rewatch it. I'm happy it does the same for you! -Brandon

Haha damn it I knew someone was going to call me out...

Hey thanks so much, we're so glad you enjoyed it! It was really fun to record and find mods lol.

Agreed! It's really the first Sonic game since I think like Generations that gave me moments where I actually felt hype. It's the most we've actually seen Super Sonic get to show off what he can do, and it made the Titan fights some of the most memorable moments in the series.

Haha originally I was going to find a frame with Giganto's mod, but it's kinda hard to give the impression of that in a still frame, so female Tails mod it was lol. Glad you like it!

That's a relief lol, I honestly had no idea before recording how much effort the modder put in to make the music sync up. Thanks for the genuine comment btw, half the time our comments so vague we worry they're AI. If you have any suggestions for games you'd like to see us play we're happy to try whatever.

No problem, and if yall want an oldie but a goodie: cave story is great 👍

@@kharmachaos667 Sorry for the late response, I've actually been practicing and researching Cave Story! I only played it on DSi back in the day but never finished it. The consensus online seems to be that the freeware version by the original developer is best, so we'll probably go with that. I'm not sure if it will be our next video, but it will be coming up soon. I want to make sure I don't embarrass myself with the gameplay lol.

Hey thank you very much for the correction and for watching. It had been sometime since I played the main game and so many mods have extras locked behind emblems, so it slipped my mind. I'm sure that's not the only thing I fumbled either lol. If you have suggestions for other SRB2 mods or games in general you'd like to see us play or try don't hesitate to reach out. - Brandon - The 'B' in ABZ

Thank you for watching our video! Keep up the excellent work! I always look forward to more!

And the villagers didn't expect Leon to be fluent in Spanish? That is possible, especially because he speaks it very sparingly. Also thanks for the comment!

Thank you for checking us out! We appreciate the comment! Hope you continue enjoying the videos!

Whose line is it? Not mine, but I'm glad somebody got it! Thank you for the comment!
